about

"Saudade: is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return. A stronger form of saudade might be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing, moved away, separated, or died.

Saudade was once described as 'the love that remains' after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again. It can be described as an emptiness, like someone (e.g., one's children, parents, sibling, grandparents, friends, pets) or something (e.g., places, things one used to do in childhood, or other activities performed in the past) that should be there in a particular moment is missing, and the individual feels this absence. It brings sad and happy feelings altogether, sadness for missing and happiness for having experienced the feeling."

lyrics

I never knew that I could feel this way
I found and lost you all in the same day
I won't be long, I won't be long at all
Spring and Summer turned into Fall

And when they say time heals all wounds
Nothing is farther from the truth
And as much as I wanted to
I was unable to love you

I never knew that I could feel this way
I found and met you once again today
But to my quick surprise I realized
That some things are meant to be left behind

And when they say time heals all wounds
Nothing is closer to the truth
And as much as I wanted to
I was unable to love you

And I know there's no happy ending
But there's still time for healing

about

Manoli Despines Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My name is Manoli and I use an OP-1, miniKORG-37, Ableton Live 9/Logic Pro X, and a guitar to make music. I haven't made music in a long time because of my lack of free time and how much I feel like I need to drastically improve as a musician, so I'm on a bit of hiatus, but I promise I'll be back sometime soon. Feel free to follow me on the accounts listed below, where I am much more active. ... more
